The fat man asked hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, the skinny man immediately stopped putting down the book, turned around, and slapped the other skinny man on the back of the head.

"You son of a bitch, spouting rhymes like that, are you trying to get into the General Affairs Department?"

The skinny man scolded, "Those two asked us to buy them books. We've been lining up here since midnight last night. Wouldn't it be stupid not to take this opportunity to make some money? After we give those two the books, come with me to sell them. We'll sell each book for two hundred moras and make a killing. After we've made that much, we'll go to the Rock Tea House and gamble it all back..."

"But...we've already had too many misfortunes because of reselling books. I really suspect we'll get our comeuppance for our evil deeds..."

The fat man said worriedly.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. If you keep spouting rhymes, I'll beat you up."

The skinny man cursed irritably.

"Oh."

The fat man didn't dare to say anything more. He muttered, "You've already made your move," and then focused on packing the books.

……

At this time.

Downstairs, a tavern.

With the opening of Wanwen Bookstore for sale, the tavern owner instructed her staff to distribute the books to all members and VIPs.

"Mr. Zhongli, this is for you."

The tavern owner personally handed Zhongli, who was sitting at the table, a beautifully bound copy of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

Thank you.

Zhongli took the book, nodded, stood up and said, "Please put it in the account of the Rebirth Hall."

"no problem."

The tavern owner nodded without hesitation.

Although Mr. Zhongli loved keeping accounts, he could easily get the money back whenever someone went to the temple to collect the debts.

If that Master Hu wasn't around, the debt collectors could still get a small tip.

Therefore, she doesn't mind keeping accounts.

After exchanging a few polite words, Zhongli glanced at Master Chang, who was sitting by the window, already reading a book and beginning to savor it, then picked up the book and turned to leave the tavern.

The fog had dissipated considerably on the streets, and apart from the long queue in front of Wanwenjishe, other pedestrians were hurrying along the way.

However, he did spot two familiar figures in the crowd.

Ok?

It's them again?

Zhong Li was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that the True Lord of Water and Mountain and the True Lord of Moon and Sun were just worried about Liyue Harbor, so they disguised themselves as mortals to visit Liyue Harbor. After seeing that Fang Qiu's book was selling well, they wanted to buy a book to see what the people of Liyue Harbor were into now.

Unexpectedly, they came again.

Whose book are you here to buy?

Zhongli was somewhat curious.

Just as he was somewhat surprised, True Lord Lishui Dieshan and True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang also discovered him.

Just then, a fat man and a thin man carrying sacks and three copies of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" walked up to the True Lord of Water and Mountain and the True Lord of Moon and Sun.

Seeing this, Zhongli smiled calmly.

I understand.

It seems that these two immortals have also come for Fang Qiu's book.

So he nodded slightly to the True Lord of Water and Mountain and the True Lord of Moon and Sun as a sign of respect, then turned and left, heading towards the Hall of Rebirth.

As Zhongli gradually disappeared into the distance, True Lord Lishui Dieshan and True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang impatiently turned around to look at the two treasure-hunting groups in front of them, one fat and one thin.

"Give it to me."

"The True Lord of Flowing Water and Stacked Mountains said coldly."

The skinny man was initially annoyed that they had left him and his underlings standing there, but when he heard the cold voice of the young man in the dark yellow robe, he felt a chill run down his spine and shuddered uncontrollably.

The dissatisfaction in my heart vanished instantly.

"Here are the books you requested, gentlemen."

The skinny man shakily handed over the three copies of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" and said respectfully.

"Ah."

Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun took the book, glanced at it, and said, "Alright, keep two of the books in the sack for yourselves, and then you can leave."

Upon hearing these words from True Lord Li Shui Die Shan, the skinny man was stunned. His face immediately turned ashen, and after a long pause, he stammered, "Didn't you two only want three books...?"

"Making you buy books is a form of punishment, but instead of repenting, you're even trying to take shortcuts."

"The True Lord of Flowing Water and Stacked Mountains said coldly."

Hearing the cold voice of the True Lord of Lishui Dieshan, the skinny man looked as if he had lost his parents and dared not say another word. He could only take out two books from the bag with a mournful face, hand the bag to the True Lord of Lishui Dieshan, and then flee as if he were running away.

"Lishui, what do you want to do with these books that they left behind?"

The True Lord of Carving the Moon and Building the Sun asked the question.

Lord Lishui Dieshan frowned. He had originally planned to give them to some children who liked reading.

Fang Qiu's books are of very high literary quality.

After all, it had earned the Emperor's approval.

However, upon further reflection, Fang Qiu's book seems unsuitable for children.

It's best for children to be happy.

Let's wait until they're older to read Fang Qiu's books.

He looked up at the long queue in front of the Wanwen Collection Hall, and finally his gaze fell on the girl who was pulling a cart and wearing the clothes of the Wangsheng Hall.

Chapter 313 The story begins at the end of summer (Third update!)

Not long after.

With one hand pulling a fully loaded cart and the other holding a mortar bag, Hu Tao walked towards the Hall of Rebirth.

As I passed through a small alley, I found two people, one tall and one short, standing there looking utterly dejected.

She did know these two people.

The person who gave her the book for free last time.

So she stopped and started to think. Although they had given the books to them for free, it was still wrong to take things from others without giving them to them.

So she was considering whether to ask them to add some Mora and arrange a one-stop service package for them, including body collection, cremation, and burial.

As she paused to think, the fat man hesitated and said, "Boss... I told you, those who do many evil deeds will surely perish..."

"Go to hell with you! We're a treasure-hunting gang! What will we eat if we don't act righteously?"

The skinny guy slapped the fat guy on the back of the head, and then, still not satisfied, punched the wall of the alley next to him.

However, just as his fist was about to hit the wall, he chickened out, pulled his hand back, and instead kicked the wall with his foot, but unexpectedly, he still winced in pain.

Seeing this, Hu Tao became even more certain of her idea to get them a package deal.

These two treasure-hunting groups look exactly like the two who died at the very beginning of Fang Qiu's "Ten Treasure-Hunting Groups," a revised version of "Ten Hitmen."

He doesn't look very smart.

These treasure-hunting groups, like adventurers who enjoy exploring dangerous places, are all top-tier clients of hers.

However, just as Hu Tao was thinking about which package to recommend to them, the two members of the treasure-hunting group noticed that someone was watching them from outside the alley.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a handsome group of treasure hunters before?"

Seeing that someone was watching them, the skinny man immediately became furious.

Just when I was worried about where to vent my anger, someone delivered it right to my door.

He rolled up his sleeves and was walking out of the alley while cursing when he suddenly saw Hu Tao's face clearly. He stood there stunned for a while before turning around and running away.

He had only taken two steps when he tripped and fell flat on his face. He screamed, but ignoring the pain, he got up and kept running.

Another fat man also saw Hu Tao's face clearly and hurriedly scrambled to catch up.

Before Hu Tao could even speak, the two of them had vanished.

"Ah, this..."

Seeing this, Hu Tao was somewhat puzzled.

I didn't say anything, so why are these two acting like they've seen a ghost?

I didn't release any ghosts to scare them.

Left with no other choice, Hu Tao could only pull the cart and continue walking towards the Hall of Rebirth.

Along the way, they also met Yun Jin.

When she learned that Yun Jin was planning to go to Wanwen Bookstore to buy books, she gave Yun Jin a copy.

Yun Jin naturally didn't stand on ceremony with Hu Tao and readily accepted the book.

Hu Tao continued humming the revised version of "Qiuqiu Ballad" that Fang Qiu had given her, pulling her little cart all the way back to the Hall of Rebirth.

Old Meng and Yi Guan were both puzzled to see their master return so early.

"Master, why are you back so early?"

"Young lady-in-waiting asked."

"Could it be that no one is buying Miss Qiu's books anymore?"

Old Meng also asked in confusion.
